Stack Exchange is an online question and answer community 
dedicated to bringing experts together in order to answer in-depth 
questions that wouldn't fly at a generic Q&A site.  To help expansion, 
the community has an incubation process for new field proposals.  
Currently, the linguistics proposal is in the ''commitment'' stage of this 
incubation.  This means that it needs more users to commit to adding 
content in the future.  Once it reaches a certain level of membership 
(to which it is very close) it can finally launch into beta and start 
accruing questions and answers. 

If you are interested in contributing to a public reference community for 
linguistics, either by asking your questions that search engines just 
can't answer, or by collaborating on answers for questions you have 
experience with, feel free to join us at 

http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6673/linguistics  

Registering is as simple as linking your Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, or 
OpenID account.  Alternatively, you can create a new log-in.  (Note 
that, as highlighted above, Q&A for linguistics will not be available until 
the commitment goal is met.  This policy is to ensure that all sites 
launched will be well-populated and able to produce quality posts.)
